MHT CET 2026 Chemistry question

Not in JEE Main or NEET syllabus

Identify the term used to describe movement of colloidal particles under applied electric potential without using semipermeable membrane.

(A)Dialysis
(B)ElectrophoresisCorrect
(C)Electroosmosis
(D)Brownian motion

Answer: (B)

Solution

Electrophoresis (cataphoresis) is the migration of charged colloidal particles towards the oppositely charged electrode when an electric potential is applied across the colloidal sol; no membrane is required. Dialysis is the separation of crystalloids from colloids using a semipermeable membrane (with electric
